Man Group, the world's largest hedge fund manager, is planning to launch its RMF fund of hedge fund products in the US for the first time next year.

A spokesman for Man Group, which is listed on the London Stock Exchange, said the group would offer its products through RMF, its Swiss fund of hedge funds subsidiary.

He said: "It's a big market and the group has strong brands that it is keen to export from Europe." He acknowledged there was a lot of competition but said the group was confident of US investors' appetite.

RMF, one of the world's largest fund of hedge fund managers with $19.4bn (€16.3bn) under management, has investors in Europe and Asia, particularly Japan.
